@ Ian. That season stats section is a nice touch. But pass to your web gurus that it requires a refresh to get accurate stats.
For example, bringing up the season stats, here is my streak rate:
21/32 (66%) 16/21 (76%) 3/6 (50%)
After refreshing & now correct:
37/48 (77%) 22/27 (81%) 7/8 (88%)
This not a 1-time thing. Happens every time I bring that page up. Requires a refresh to get it right

——————————————–Highest “No Selection”😛 pg# 9 with streak of 13 back to zero.
Yesterday’s Top2500 Reset rate was 22.21% with GABY SANCHEZ reseting the most.
There was also 24.39% PPD due to players not playing. These streakers do not reset, but did not increase either.

I took A Rod yesterday and he went O fer while every other Yankee starting hitter got hits including Mark Teixeira. Today I have Teixeira and only after it locked did I realize that Mark is only 1 for 6 (now 1 for 7) against R.A. Dickey. A Rod got a hit in the 2nd inning while I’m still waiting to see if Mark will have an any inning hit. Teixeira and A Rod should have been reversed (I should have had Mark yesterday, A Rod today). I will end this funk.

Maybe it works better to pick against the historical stats.
I wonder how many who picked Braun realize that he left yesterday’s game with a sore shoulder. That’s why I stayed away. (Now watch him get 3 hits.)

Well, Robinson Cano takes down a few on the 1st page, including our current leader. From 30 to 0 without passing go, ouch!
Also, looking like Bautista may also be a sacrifice tonight; slight chance to come up 1 more time in the 9th

If anyone was curious as I was, Ethier drew 16 Top2500 picks on Friday. After breaking is 0-fer slump last nite, he drew just 17 picks Saturday. Guess not many ppl are jumping on his bandwagon until he starts a new streak greater than a couple.

HRBTS: If I could pick & choose which days I wanted to play that game, without no-picks resetting me, I’d be golden. I’ve picked Bautista in BTS 3 times this year. Of those 3 times: 5 HRs, including 1 today & so I’m at one in HRBTS. Whoopy doo.

Tampa Bay top picks in the Top2500: BJ Upton & Damon are pinch hitter potentials. NL park rules & pitcher will most likely be pinched for at some point in the game; maybe more than once depending on the score/situation

HRBTS underway for those that like an impossible challenge.
Tip: One of my favorite strategies to get from zero to one in that game. Pick same homerun hitter during a series in a small ballpark, preferably against a inferior team. More times than not you’ll get to one. What you do with it after that is up to you.

Just curious if someone can tell me why I can’t get to 2011 HRBTS directly? I have to change the 2011 to 2010 and then click on more games and HRBTS, then change the 2010 back to 2011. It should be easier, should it not?

You can get straight to the 2011 game from the main mlb fantasy page. There should be a link from Beat the Streak to HR BTS. Since there isn’t I missed the lock time yesterday and would most likely have taken Batista.
